help me choose a design!

Hello Everyone!

We are new to chickens. We are trying to choose a coop design but I am finding there are so many options that I don't have time to look at all of them. Can anyone give me a few suggestions? I want something portable that can hold up to 8 chickens. We have ordered 6 but I want it to be big enough to grow if we decide we want more. I would like a simple but attractive design. Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

How about a chicken tractor?

can you recommend a design?

8 hens might be a little much for a portable coop. Check out the Garden Coop, they have both a full size coop and a tractor.

How much room do you have? I make one for use in my garden that can hold 20 chickens. I move it about every week and the sq. ft varies, but usually 150 to 250 sq. ft. The runs are easy to make, the coop takes a little though. It's posted in my photo album. It cost me about $0.80/sq. ft. to make last year.
